Do you have a problem with your current driveline?

I ran single u-joints at both ends and never had any vibrations before i installed dual cases.
When i installed duals, i made my own rear driveline with a cv that is clearanced at the tcase end.  With this setup i also have no vibrations.

Keep in mind, not everybody will use one and the results vary.  I have a short wheelbase and my boss told me i was going to want one after i installed my cases, so thats what we did.

The biggest reason I run a CV on my rear d-shaft is to get the pinion poined up and out of the rocks!
